Chapter 432: Cultivation Breakthrough
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The people of Crimson Flame City were on edge as the beast tide turned back, and they couldn’t help but laugh when they saw the once majestic Flying Silver Wolf now acting like a lackey.
So even a Saint Beast can be this cowardly when facing danger?
But perhaps it’s only natural to bow before the strong.
Who exactly is this mysterious woman? How could she make a third-grade Saint Beast like the Flying Silver Wolf submit?
In front of the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Qingluan shot a drop of her own blood onto the Flying Silver Wolf’s forehead, silently reciting the contract spell to form a pact.
A white light enveloped the Flying Silver Wolf.
Initially feeling a bit resentful, the AFlying Silver Wolf suddenly sensed a powerful and vibrant energy surging into its body.
First, it was stunned, and then it let out a joyful cry.
The thunderous howl of the Flying Silver Wolf startled Qiu Moyuan and the others, thinking it might be trying to harm Gu Qingluan, so they quickly warned her.
Gu Qingluan jumped down from the Flying Silver Wolf’s back to the ground.
The Flying Silver Wolf floated in mid-air, limbs stretched out, wings spread open.
The surrounding spiritual energy rushed toward it rapidly.
Its pressure grew stronger, and its aura continued to rise…
“This is… a breakthrough?” Qiu Moyuan exclaimed in astonishment as he looked at it.
Indeed, the Flying Silver Wolf had broken through!
It had been stuck at the third-grade Saint Realm for many years, unable to advance any further.
Who could have expected that after being forced to acknowledge a master, it would actually advance?
If it had known about this, it would have eagerly agreed and tried to curry favor with Gu Qingluan much earlier!
The Flying Silver Wolf excitedly stretched out its neck and let out several roars.
These roars carried the pressure of a fourth-grade Saint Beast and radiated out, causing the approaching beast tide to pause and the creatures to tremble in fear.
The Flying Silver Wolf landed in front of Gu Qingluan, bent its knees, and respectfully lowered its head, saying, “Thank you for bestowing me with this power, my master. 1 am Fei Yi. I will now make the beast tide retreat to the Death Mountain Range.”
Gu Qingluan nodded.
The Flying Silver Wolf stood up, called out to the beast tide a few times under its imposing presence, and, under its pressure, the myriad beasts scattered in panic.
Flapping its wings, the Flying Silver Wolf flew into the sky and pursued the fleeing beasts.
Watching the mult.i.tude of beasts retreat to the Death Mountain Range, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiu Moyuan immediately stepped forward to express his grat.i.tude to Gu Qingluan.
Others also realized the situation and went over to thank her.
Gu Qingluan smiled faintly. “No need to be polite, anyone else in my place would have acted the same.”
“You’re too modest. May I ask for your name? We don’t know the name of our benefactor.”
“I’m called Gu Qingluan.”
“Gu Qingluan?” Qiu Moyuan’s expression subtly changed. “Could you be the young lady of the Gu family?”
Gu Qingluan joked, “So you’ve heard of me too? 1 never expected my name to be known in such a remote little town.”
Qiu Moyuan’s eyes flickered, and he was about to explain when a mercenary chimed in, “When a million Dingbei soldiers besieged Tianjing City, it was Miss Gu who turned the tide. How could we not have heard of it?”
“Yeah! Miss Gu, you’re a hundred times more amazing than the rumors!”
Everyone’s faces were filled with excitement as if they were looking at their idol.
Gu Qingluan really hadn’t antic.i.p.ated that her reputation had grown so much.
She chuckled. “It’s not as exaggerated as you make it sound. 1 wasn’t the only one defending the city, there were also over a hundred thousand Imperial Guards, and the people of Tianjing cooperated wholeheartedly. The safety of Tianjing City was the result of everyone’s efforts.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, but deep down, they knew that without her, Tianjing City might have fallen.
Even the Emperor had personally appointed her as the Guardian Princess, acknowledging her contributions!
Just then, an urgent voice interrupted, “City Lord, we have too many wounded, but we’re severely lacking in medicine and physicians. If we don’t treat them in time, many won’t make it.”
Qiu Moyuan immediately bowed to Gu Qingluan, saying, “Miss Gu, I have urgent matters to attend to. I must take my leave. Shall 1 have someone escort you to the City Lord’s Mansion later?”
“I’ll go with you,” Gu Qingluan replied.
Qiu Moyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The others also followed.
On one hand, they wanted to help, and on the other hand, they wanted to see how Gu Qingluan would save the wounded.
They had heard that Miss Gu not only had profound cultivation but also exceptional medical skills.
During the Tianjing City defense, many Imperial Guards who were seriously injured were miraculously revived by Miss Gu’s skilled hands.
Such a rare sight was not to be missed!
